- New Anesthesia Required Event and Associated SmartText for Uncrossmatched Blood
The Anesthesia Specialty Working Group has approved a new Emergency Event in the Anesthesia Intraprocedure Workspace for Uncrossmatched Blood. This required event features an associated SmartText for documenting the attestation of administering uncrossmatched blood products to comply with accreditation standards. As of May 21, 2025, anesthesia providers must use this event to mark the administration of uncrossmatched blood product(s) and utilize the SmartText for attestation documentation (click on the camera icons for screenshots).
If there is no associated event with an uncrossmatched blood transfusion, anesthesia providers will be required to create an event before signing the record.
